We’d say we have a healthy obsession with what we’d call “future decor.” In other words, we’re always daydreaming about what homes, offices and businesses might look like in the future.

Skypak is the name of a design brand from Cologne, Germany. They refine airplane trolleys to make them usable in home, business and office settings. We have to admit, their compact design and focus on efficiency do make them pretty clever, and they’ve got a nice industrial feel to them.

Just loving this house! It’s such a perfect mix of old and new when you begin to examine its details. First to catch our eye are those lovely, rounded corners of the house.
